RASC News Agency: The “Afghanistan Women’s Movement for Justice and Freedom” has expressed deep concern regarding the escalating violence against women in Afghanistan, which coincides with the ongoing restrictions imposed by the Taliban. On November 25th, during the commemoration of “World Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women,” female protesters gathered in Kabul to vocalize their grievances. They shed light on the increasing limitations imposed by the Taliban on the lives of Afghanistani women and girls over the past two years.
During the gathering, the women protesters unveiled distressing reports of mysterious murders, suicides, physical abuse, unfair trials, forced marriages, and the trafficking of young girls within the country. They emphasized that, under the Taliban’s control, there is a glaring absence of a legal framework or institution responsible for addressing violence against women in Afghanistan.
In a collective declaration, the women appealed to human rights organizations and the international community to rally behind their cause. They urged these entities to exert pressure on the Taliban group to uphold human values, rescind their anti-women policies, and ensure the establishment of schools for girls in Afghanistan. Despite the increasing restrictions imposed by the Taliban on Afghanistani women and girls, depriving them of their fundamental rights, the women’s movement remains resolute in their fight for justice and freedom.
The Taliban group has faced relentless pressure from both national and international organizations, as well as foreign countries, to revoke the restrictive decrees imposed on Afghanistani women and girls. These organizations and nations have set a precondition for the Taliban to respect the human rights of the country’s citizens in order to gain official recognition. However, the group has displayed an unwillingness to accommodate these requests, showing no flexibility in their stance.
